The 85-year-old Federation Road resident reported to the Grays Farm Police Station that he had been robbed at gunpoint, by a masked man, at about 2:20 p.m. on February 21.

He claimed he had been preparing food in his kitchen when the gunman pushed open his front door, which had been slightly ajar.

The intruder pointed a gun at the elderly man and ordered him to lie down on the floor, which he did.

Allegedly, the intruder then used a tie strap to restrain the victim’s hands and placed a blanket over his head.

He then robbed him of his Apple Iphone 8 and took EC$40 and US$20 from his wallet before leaving the house.

Apparently, the elderly man managed to summon help and he was freed.

Neighbours recount seeing a vehicle resembling a silver Toyota Axio that bore rental plates, with three occupants. It was travelling from south to north on Federation Road, they say.

That vehicle allegedly came to a stop outside the victim’s home, and one of the passengers seated in the back exited the vehicle and entered the house.

Persons recall that, after a few minutes, the man exited the home and left in the same vehicle in a northerly direction.
The bandit is described as being dark in complexion, of a slim build, and about 6 feet tall; he was wearing a black mask with holes cut out in the eye area.

The police subsequently conducted a search in the surrounding areas for any vehicle matching this description but without success.

Inquiries into this incident are continuing.

  1. A dem day police and soldiers fu run behind and shot in a dem back. Not Manny!

  2. That poor man. Really,$40 and $20. He must be really traumatized. Police need to get up off their asses and patrol the entire island morning noon and night. This is just ridiculous. Who next they’re going to rob, the sick man in bed?

  3. Well well, with all this as onlookers saw the action couldn’t they call the police and alert of a presumed robbery? They video tape all kinds of scenes why they didn’t do this instead of watching on?
